Good Newwz is a screwball comedy about two couples who experience a mix-up at a fertility clinic, after their sperm is exchanged. While Akshay and Kareena play the sophisticated Batras, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh play the louder Batras.

The film has made Rs 190 crore in India, after 18 days of release. It marked Akshay Kumar’s fourth film of the year to hit the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office, following Kesari, Mission Mangal and Housefull 4. The actor will next be seen in the action thriller Sooryavanshi, which is the latest instalment in director Rohit Shetty’s cop universe, whose previous instalments include the two Singham films and Simmba. After that, Akshay will appear in the horror comedy Laxxmi Bomb and then in Prithviraj.

Good Newwz received positive reviews from critics as well, who praised the mix of humour and emotions. Thanking fans for the positive reception, Akshay said in a statement, “We are extremely overwhelmed with the response coming in for Good Newwz as it’s a subject which had to be shared with the audience. It’s an important subject and I thank the viewers not only in India but also overseas that they have accepted us with open hearts. With this film, I am confident that a movie with good messaging and subject will always fetch success and appreciation.”

The film will likely experience a drop, thanks to two new films taking over the majority of screens. On Friday, Ajay Devgn’s Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and Deepika Padukone’s Chhapaak were released.

The film will not let you get bored till the end. After giving a great film like ‘Kesari’ in ‘Housefull 4’ where Akshay Kumar was not seen acting routine. Akshay Kumar also did comedy in this film in a seductive manner. He is seen doing absolutely natural acting in the film. At the same time, Kareena Kapoor has also presented the pain of not being a mother for 7 years of marriage on the screen. Diljit and Kiara definitely got a little less time than Akshay-Kareena on screen, but in many scenes both the viewers will get tickled. By the way, it is said for Akshay Kumar that when he is on screen, the adjacent actor is not seen, but in this film, Diljit Dosanjh was also seen making a place in his presence. Kiara Advani has played the role of Diljit’s Punjabi wife. Kiara, the Punjabi biwi’s colloquial and body language, caught it very well and presented it on the screen.

The story of ‘Good News’ is based on Varun Batra and Deepti Batra, a Mumbai-based couple. Both have been married for 7 years. Kareena Kapoor is trying badly to bring the child to life. After much consideration, both of them are ready to become parents with IVF. The situation gets worse when sperm changes in the hospital. In the life of Kareena and Akshay, Diljit and Kiara enter as uninvited guests. This latter situation is full of comedy, with emotional touch the director has kept the audience connected to the story. The editing of the film is very tight. The story does not seem to have drawn you anywhere. The film keeps it tied from beginning to end. The theme of the film is quite serious, but the way the director introduced the story with the help of comedy, it is clan-compliant, because often the directors do not escape from the stupidity on such subjects.

Karan Johar had shared a video from his house party that was attended by Deepika Padukone, Vicky, Ranbir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Shahid Kapoor among others. A political leader had claimed that drug abuse took place at the party, basing his claim on the video.

Vicky, who was recovering from dengue at the time of the party and later left for Arunachal Pradesh for a show with the Indian Army, said he had no idea about the media frenzy that followed. “It was a very chilled-out party. That video is put out. And right after, I am in the hills in Arunachal Pradesh, with the Army, for three-four days, where there is no network. Obviously I don’t know.

And I have no clue that I’ve become the ‘charsi of the country’! I come back to Mumbai, and my mom and dad know everything. They have watched the news. They didn’t tell me before, because I would get affected, sitting there [in Arunachal]. So I head to my room. Before going off to sleep, I get on Twitter, and then I’m like, “Hain? FIR! Yeh kya hua?” I’m looking at those videos circling, white thing, and light falling on the floor…”

“So I rushed out of my room to check if my mom and dad knew about this. And then they just gave a smile, and said, don’t worry. I was, like, okay, as long as they know, I’m sorted. Then the next day it started affecting me again, with TV channels circling my face in red!”

Vicky also spoke about all the female attention he had got. He mentioned how it was obviously a pleasant feeling, and he also knows that there far more handsome and sexy men around but it is the “relatability” factor of his work which resonates with girls too. “But, yeah, the heartthrob element also takes me by surprise a bit. I think it is a very pleasant feeling. It’s got a lot to do with the characters I’ve played, and that they’ve resonate
